C                         F          G7
Making money at 30 with a wife and a son

       C                       D7          G7
Then a short 5 years later  it all comes undone

      C                          F          G7
She's gone back to mama with the boy by her side

        C                           G7         C
Now I'm wine drunk and running with them on my mind

 
           F                      C
I'm on the backside of thirty and back on my own

   E7                    F           G7
An empty apartment don't feel like a home

       F                      C
On the backside of thirty the short side of time

                        G7         F
Back on the bottom with no will to climb

 
C                              F              G7
It's dawn Monday morning and I just called in sick

          C                   D7                 G7
I skipped work last Friday to drink this month's rent

    C                        F            G7
And when my friends ask me I tell 'em I'm fine

       C                           G7         C
But my eyes tell the story that my lies can't hide
